3.0 UnPACKInG And ASSeMBLY
The components for the ST-155 and ST-156 series are shipped in a Styrofoam box for protection.
Open the box with care to avoid that any components fall out and get damaged.
If the instrument has been damaged during the transport, please contact both the carrier and your
supplier immediately.
unpack the stand and put it on a good stable table.
Put the stereo head (sold separately) onto the focusing carrier of the stand and lock it by the lock
screw on the front of the focusing carrier. during the operation of the microscope, this screw should
always be locked to maintain maximum stability.
